yoda Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 the local mets are reporting we broke the streak of no 1" days so they must have passed that at least. If we didn't, I don't know how we would have broken it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pouring snow. Everying covered even the roads. I would say at least 2 inches of accumulation. Maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 31.4F here in Clarksburg on calm winds. 2.2" on the board right now but the big meltdown has just commenced in the last 15 minutes with trees starting to drip and snow oozing down the sides of the cars. Very similar to 3/6 when the sun peeked above the horizon. Here's a couple of pics from Casa de das, side yard fisheye and front, respectively: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I see that trying to get it done but doesn't seem likely. Is that just your inner coming out, or is it really possible? It's more possible for ne md. maybe we get fringed. We usually get whiffed but since our luck seems to have tipped...... even if we did it would take RIC like rates to do anything because it would be afternoon. Not feeling it but I was pretty much focused on the overnight stuff. OVERPERFORMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Moderate snow. About 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Have right around 3 inches at my house. Just took a run and got to make snowballs and throw them at stop signs while running. Could easily scoop snow off of parked cars and make the snowballs on the run. So happy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMan1 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't even look at those to be honest. It's much more accurate to use a little common sense with rates, temps, soundings, etc. Snowmaps are silly. Except for 09-10 of course. ------------------------------------------------- The SLR-adjusted EC snow output we see at WPC, particularly at high res (quarter of a degree), are far from silly. Especially when we apply the in-house SLR adjustment. Obviously, we have to pay for it, and we certainly cannot share it, but it's money well spent. You'll just have to trust me on this. EDIT...that is ESPECIALLY the case with marginl BL temps!! 'Silly' was the 2-4" it pegged for the RIC area through 00Z yesterday, or so I thought. Or the fact that this output gave next to nothing along and east if i95 during 3/6, or so I thought.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in the first storm to actually perform similar to how it was modeled? I'll tell you what, it feels pretty damn good to finally get something worth a damn. My 18 month old actually get's to see the grass completely covered...... I didn't think that would ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Crappy iPad pics, but you get the picture. So much for the wwa and just 1-3 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 According to the PNS, DCA had recorded only a T as of 6:52am, so the streak remains for DCA at least. say what you want, I believe there's an agenda at DCA they will measure wherever they need to in order to record the lowest snowfall amounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Absolutely beautiful out. No official measurement from me yet. Easily 3-4 on the deck railing. Trees drapped in white. Still snowing. Best Spring ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I know it's going to be tough to get additional accumulations once the sun gets up, but the radar is looking a lot better for Baltimore north and east. Looks like close to four inches so far here. Best snow in over two years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I had about 3" on the ground when I was getting ready to leave for work at around 6:15 - I'm guessing it's more now. Fun drive in - not too bad overall, but the secondary roads were really slushy. Side roads were completely covered. Fun morning. Birng on spring.

WxUSAF Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Took 50 minutes to drive to Goddard, about twice what it normally does. 95 was just wet, but every other road had a fair bit of slush on it. Goddard parking lots and roads completely snowcovered (they closed for 3/6 and didn't even delay opening today...). Vis was 1/8-1/2 mile during the drive. I measured 2.5" in Columbia before I left, which I expect should be 3-3.5" by now with these rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 You guys should share your algorithms because most of the public euro snow maps will be way off still Do those maps matter?...I don't know how any one could have looked at the euro and deduced 4-8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 2.6 for me. 9.1 for March and total of 12.6 for the year. Beautifull outside. Enjoy and congrats everyone. Take pics of our last event of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've had 7 inches, with 1.5 overnight. The "official" LYH via WSET will be 6.5 They were lagging behind most of the day and caught up to within a half inch during the megaband. Biggest late season event since 1971 where 7.3 inches fell. April 6-7 of that same year-- another 4.8 inches fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
